Concerning Local Artists.

Under the caption of cart in Maine" the Port,
land Press has published sketches and criticisms
Of the artists of this state. There are some om--
sions, of eoursc-fur example, wc,o not find men
ton of John Mead, of Brdgcton, whose paintings
OF local fish have him more than local fame
but the criticisms are generally sound. Mr.. u. d.
Coombs, of Lewiston, is perhaps ovclprai, ell, and
the reverse is true of Miss Annie Hardy, If Bangor
ers in Maine" An artist friend says sl. is one
of the best flower painters in the country We
quote what Is said of some OF the artists of this
section:
Belfast is the home OF two artists who rank
among the most talented of the state. Mr.. III. l..
Woodcock of that place, is well known an oil
landscape and still life painter lie has studied
and exhibited his works in Boston and takes IL
great interest in art. Mr.. Woodcock does not
spend his whole time in painting but being pos
scssc OF fortune he resorts to art recreation.
His still life paintings have merted the praise of
critics and his landscapes skifully executed.
MI. +. A. sanborn is the second artist of Belfast
to whom we had reference. His whole time is
given to his profession and his paintings are most
ly flowers and still life.
Miss Pettengill, of Brewer, is a busy oil land
scape artist; Mrs. NJ NJ Whitney, a water color
landscape artist of Brownville, and Mr.. James
Emery, OF Buckspor a marine artist are all skill
| coniine themselves. Mr. F. ii. Moses. of Bucks
port, is we'll known landscape painter He
pants IN broad style with very good effect.
Much OF his time has been spent study ing ut Bos
ton. One of his best works Is owned by the Ban
gor Art Association and now hangs in The public
library of that city.
The work Of Miss Dolly Smith, of Scarsport
compares favorably with that of the best old
school artists of the State. 1t is noted for special
attention to detail Miss Smith devotcs the most
of her time to art in which she takes great inter
est. Flowers and landscapes are her favorite
studies. Miss Mary A. Stockbridge, of Ellsworth,
has produced many meritorious oil flower and
landscape works, and, although she does not give
her whole time to art, she has merite'l much
praise.

DE YOUNG sRoT BY l. NJ KAIIocH. :

The inevitable penalty was to have the old
story revived He repu6lished the
evidence and the verdict, deted
his enemies to DO their worst, won
substantial victory and secured a first
rate standing in Lawrence. Suddenly his
friends were surprised to read a declara-
ton from him that he was reconvinced OF
the truth of Baptist Christianity and
would re-enter the ministry. He was
warmly welcomed, for his talents were
recognized, and he was soon established
over congregation in San Francisco.
But he was by nature more a politician
than a preacher and soon drifted into the
peculiar labor rights" party Of that city.
The next the public heard was that Denis
kearney and "Parsonn Kalloch were run
ming the "sand lots party" of San Fran
cisco. And about this time the De
Noungs turned against the sand letters.
There were three De Young brothers,
whose youth had been spent in the Cali
fornia mining camps in extreme poverty,
their mother supporting herself ana chill
dron by washing. They began with a
mere theatre circular and In fifteen years
built up the finest newspaper property in
the city. Their style was unreilned, and
they were not at all particular as TO the
persons they attacked; but their instinct
for news was wonderful, and they knew
the whole camut Of California nature by
heart. They attacked the monopolist class
with frantic ychcrncncc and made the way
easy for Denis Kcarney. They assailed the
sugar combine of Claus Spreckels and
overthrow the ruling class in local politics.
DR.. kallOch was credited with having
forced the adoption of the new constitu-
tion-the so called socialistic or "Denis
Kearncyn instrument. Their devotion TO
their mother was the most pleasant trait
Of the De Youngs In 1879, however, they
opposed the candidacy Of Dr. Kalloch for
mayor and of course revived the old Bos-
ton scandal The doctor retorted in his
next public address by vigorous at
tack, in which lie impugned the chastity
OF their mother Ihos san Francisco re-
allied that blood would be shed. On Sat
urday Aug %, 1879, C*arles De Young
